The El Salvador license plates scared me off but noticed zip is SE FL. We could use a new different tribute car in the replica market place. Is that a 914 5 speed trans? I noted before that I like the unassuming 914 Pedrini wheels. Is suspension setup to use 914 pieces?
Sure looks like more than the CMC advertised optimistic 40 hour build time. What is estimated build time for kit?

You are correct we are offering these bodies out of West Palm Beach Florida. It can use 914 tranny and suspension. The chassis is a tube. Also have RSK available.
I think you guys should rework the door / window. It looks very abnormal, like it was built special for someone 7 feet tall. Have it match the roofline. Also, use the traditional wide five lug wheels. Just my opinion. Other than that there may be some potential here!
With that high sill/door - if the door frame were lower at top - it would be extremely difficult to enter and exit. It does have decent visibility front and to side at least. Bet it isn't a Le Mans start now to enter. Ever try to get into an Audi TT coupe? Ouch. I'd want a rear view camera vs a rear view mirror. Add some EMPI spinner to the Pedrinis.
I see what you mean though - here's the 1953 original:

I thought the proportions looked wrong, but the body seems reasonably correct when compared to the original pictured above, that is with the exception of the roof, which seems a good bit taller. Still, good work overall.
I know if I had 14,500.00 laying around I would be headed to Florida.
Greg - need another project? Road trip? We could have it in your pole barn in a few hours.
Dump the beach buggy and put this one on top of the list - the CMC can wait a few more year - right Bill?
Now I see it is 16,500.00 - did it go up over the weekend?
Apparently Seinfeld has one of the 550 Coupe Prototypes, or at least he did in 2011. Here's a gallery of these cars:
Looks like a type 1 trans case and nose cone to me, Greg. Why do you think it's a 914 5 speed?
